Grassfire.net Rallies Over 135,000
Citizens to Stand Against Online Pornography
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, the Grassfire.net team delivered
more than 135,000 petitions
on behalf of citizens throughout the United States who stand in support of Rep.
Lamar Smith (R-TX) and H.R. 4623, The Child Obscenity and Pornography Prevention
Act of 2002.
This important bill, which would make it illegal to use, sell, or purchase computer-generated images of a child engaging in specified sexually explicit conduct, would go a long way in protecting families and children from being preyed upon by pornographers.
This petition delivery is a show of support from the
American people to Rep. Smith and other law-makers to continue taking decisive
and strong action against online pornographers whose unscrupulous actions are
putting our families and children at risk.
“We want to see real legislation to keep Internet porn
out of our homes, government buildings, schools, libraries and other public
facilities,” says Steve Elliott, President of Grassfire.net. “The Child
Obscenity and Pornography Prevention Act of 2002, is a step in the right
direction, and something that all Americans should support.”
Grassfire.net is one of the nation’s leading online
grassroots citizen activist organizations, offering real impact, real feedback
and real results to hundreds of thousands of people across the nation and around
the world.
